The Best American Mystery Stories 2018 by Louise Penny, Otto Penzler
3.0

Highly variable. Nothing badly written, lots of quick moving stories with good pacing, but more than a few with questionable gender/race stuff happening, but I guess that's what happens when you have Too Many White Dudes.

The best stories, really good stuff you should seek out:

Banana Triangle Six - Louis Bayard
Amazing, perfect jewel box of a thriller.

The Designee - T.C. Boyle
Perfect encapsulation of a scam and why you might fall prey to one.

Phantomwise by Joyce Carol Oates is also a good one.
